Policy Guidelines on Classroom Assessment for the

K to 12 Basic Education Program

What is Classroom Assessment?

Is a process that is used to keep track of learners progress in relation to

learning standards in the development of 21st century skills; to promote selfreflection and personal accountability among students about their own
learning; and to provide bases for the profiling of student performance on the
learning competencies and standards of the curriculum.

2 Types of Assessment:

Formative

assessment for learning so teachers can make adjustment in their instruction, also a way
wherein students reflect. Not a basis for grading.

Summative

assessment that measures the different ways learners use and apply all relevant
knowledge, understanding, and skills. A basis for grading.

Components of Summative Assessment

Performance Task (PT)
